I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. I am also a member of the Global Institute for Water Security and the Centre for Hydrology. Before joining USask in 2025, I completed a Postdoc at the University of Calgary (2022–2025), where I also earned my PhD in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Water Resources.
My research interests focus broadly on predicting water extremes, hydrology, statistical hydroclimatology, and water resources engineering.
I established the Hydroclimate Extremes and Water Security Lab (HEWSL) to address a critical question:
How can we enhance water security and build resilient communities amid floods, droughts, and other water extremes?
At HEWSL, we develop next-generation prediction approaches and decision-support frameworks to enhance water security in our communities across pluvial, fluvial, and coastal contexts, as well as natural and built environments, in a complex and changing world. My research program covers:
Advancing modelling and prediction of hydroclimate extremes under uncertainty.
Understanding the physical processes and human-driven impacts that shape hydroclimate extremes and water resources.
Enhancing local-scale hydroclimate projections for adaptive decision-making.
Accelerating the transition from the research above to engineering practice.
